Benefit will support son left behind after Mom’s death

SELINSGROVE – A magical and musical event to remember a Selinsgrove native, who recently passed away leaving behind an 8-year-old son, will be held tomorrow. Betsy Mitchell Henning died in January after complications with the flu and pneumonia. Henning was a 1980 graduate of Selinsgrove High School. She was avid in theater and participated with The Valley Players and Susquehanna University. The Henning family is associated with the family which ran the Selinsgrove Times-Tribune.

Henning’s son Ian now lives in Maryland with his father Eric Henning. The fundraiser this weekend is being organized here by a family friend Greg Snyder of Selinsgrove. It is $5 to attend and all money will go to Ian’s college fund.

The event is Saturday 7:00p.m. at the Selinsgrove VFW. It will include a performance by Snyder—a professional solo musician and Eric Henning will perform a magic show. More information about all of this is posted at the Selinsgrove Class of 1980 page, and on the ‘You Know You Grew Up in Selinsgrove’ page.
